Domestic audiences always praise the technical advantages of Hollywood blockbusters, but in fact, the success of Hollywood blockbusters is not only dependent on their strong special effects team, but also on the careful scrutiny of the script by the screenwriters. Hollywood movies pay much attention to the output of culture. Therefore, the American blockbusters we usually watch are always full of all kinds of American fast food culture. In this age when fast food culture is saturated, it is rare to have an exotic movie. "Zorro's Mask" is such a full-bodied one. Spanish-style Hollywood blockbusters.
Spain, the ancient country on the Iberian Peninsula, is always so amorous, from the passionate bullfighting to the elegant and sad "Carmen", from Cervantes's ridiculed "Don Quixote" to Picasso's dream. The magical "Guernica". Enthusiasm, unrestrainedness, fantasy, and mystery are the interpretation of this country full of blood and yellow sand. And Hollywood screenwriters have perfectly integrated these elements into this movie. Zorro, there is no actor who is more suitable for this role than Antonio Banderas. This Latin lover born in Andalusia, Spain, seems He was born with the blood and heroism of an Andalusian bullfighter, eager to stand on the Colosseum like an ancient Roman warrior and face the menacing beasts. Antonio Banderas played Zorro like a bullfighter, with a hint of calm in his passion, and full of elegance in cruelty. It is such a purebred Latin man who interprets Zorro as a Latin hero so chic. It can be said that the greatest success of this film lies in the choice of actors, and the Spanish style that agitated in the film is also derived from the film's male protagonist.
Throwing away the elements of action, love, and revenge in the movie, the deepest impression left by "Zorro's Mask" is the passionate tango of Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones, when a Latin lover meets England. Beauty, this classic dance in movie history was born. In the bright music rhythm, I admired the gorgeous, elegant and passionate dance steps of the two. The tens of seconds gave me a shocking feeling. The feeling of being shocked by the enthusiasm and passion of art... The choice of film location is even more impressive. This is the Iberian Peninsula with hot blood and yellow sand, ancient castles, attics, small towns, and deserts. There is also a string of standard Spanish dialogues. The place in the story is that California has changed its owners three times in history, from the initial Spanish colony to the later Mexican jurisdiction to the most developed area on the west coast of the United States today. Perhaps It is the historical reason that allows the strong Spanish culture to remain here, and it is also the historical reason that the legend of Zorro has been passed down from generation to generation on the land of California.
After watching "Zorro's Mask", I am very fortunate that this Latin-style movie has not been changed by Hollywood screenwriters to the American-style fast-food culture, but the traces of American movies can still be displayed in this film. Western movies as Hollywood The genre films of the golden age have long since declined. Only in the blockbuster movies with the story background of Zorro's time can you still see a little shadow of western films. The most commercial film, perhaps this film has many flaws, but the commercial film is nothing more than relaxing the tension of the nerves during the rest, and there is no need to find fault with the film itself. Moreover, we are enjoying watching Zorro Anti-violence Anliang, the Ranger. At the same time of doing justice, I also deeply experienced the strong Spanish style.
